  1. You could put some assembly lube on the cam. I just rebuilt a F54 P79 Carb engine and used the isky cam lube that came with it. I was worried about priming it but I started it up and the oil pressue came right up.
  2. Yep the work and cost is just not worth the gains.., I think I'll get of my "Horse Power High" and get grounded. I have my 240 engine out to paint the compartment and had this combo to go in and was looking to maximize it... I think I will keep it simple and save some cash. Thanks.
  3. I have both and have read them. the how to modify book does not even talk about later the later P79 but a lot of nice to dos for sure. The Mod seems pretty straightforward, shave the head .080, shim up the towers and outer springs 0.80 inner .40, install shorter valves, pick a performance cam, springs and retainer, figure out the geometry for the lash pads and run with it. End up with an updated head with higher compression which seems logical for a performance engine!?
  4. Yes this thread is old sorry. I have been reading up and gathering all the info to do this mod for what I thought was a good one until I came upon this thread and feel stonewalled. My head is apart and is ready to send pieces out to get machined and now I am wondering if this mod is truly worth the trouble. Does anyone have true experience with this? I do know of one over at classiczcar that I have talked to and he loves it and has a lot of experience with it, just looking for others to confirm if they have done it. Thanks..
  5. I picked up an 81 280zx with no title. For sure I will keep the engine, 5 speed and drive train for someone that needs that. What else should I keep that 280zx folks would need? Rims are good, fenders are so so Dash is trash seats are worn bad, headliner good.. Keep any electrical, engine compartment stuff?
